| If emu oil is suppose to stimulate hair growth, wouldn't it also do the same if you used in on your face? Or some kind of peach fuzz? |

Yes, it does stimulate hair growth on the face in a sense that it would not cause new hair to show up, but will exacerbate the existing problem - make the preexisting hair grow a little faster and a little stronger.
For me the benefits of Emu Oil outweigh the risk.

| I haven't noticed any changes in the hair length on my face, but I did order folligen lotion and they sent emu oil along with it. I bought it for my eyebrows and they say that emu oil does help promote hair growth. |

I did notice the change in how frequently I have to pluck the hair and the appearance of a couple of the new ones in the area where before there was only peach fuzz. After using Emu Oil for about 10 months (twice daily) it is not too bad at all.

| Thanks for the replies! I won't be using any emu oil b/c I don't want to create any kind of facial hair growth. I am assuming that jojoba would probably do the same? So, the Camelia oil definitely won't stimulate hair growth? |

| Hmm that's scary - I just started on emu and love it. I'm def gonna continue though I pray any hair growth won't be noticeable |

| In my opinion, the benefits - healing calming moisturizing properties outweigh the slight increase in facial hair health. |

| Well, what do you know! I've been using emu for about 3 mos now and I thought I noticed something about my facial hair. I did send an e-mail to Skin Bio asking them if it was the cp's. They replied no. I never thought it could be emu. |

| If you do a search on emu oil, you'll see that one of the benefits is that it helps with hairloss. |

Gee...I've pretty recently started using emu oil...I haven't noticed any changes in existing hair growth frequency or pattern and I'm hoping that I don't...that type of side effect does make my back go up a bit....I should have known - the emu thing was just too darn good to be true!!

| It is still an excellent product. The difference in facilal hair quantity and quality is quite small and well worth it in my opinion. |

| If there was a change in my facial hair, it was too small to notice. |

Hi,
I wanted to buy a soap that lists emu oil as one of the ingredients--i'm guessing it's not as strong as putting pure emu oil on your face, and since it will be rinsed off, do you think it will cause hair growth? I'm already having a little trouble with facial hair growth and I don't want to exacerbate the problem...
also, if I use it and it does cause facial hair growth, will the hair decrease and go back to normal if I stop using it?
looking forward to your answers 
thanks |

I also called skinbiology and asked them if their coppers stimulated hair growth on the face, and they said no. But I was just using the copper peptide serums, not the emu oil. |

| I've used Emu Oil for years and I've never noticed any increased hair growth on my face, other than my eyebrows filling in better, my eyelashes getting longer and fuller, and my hairline improving. It hasn't made me grow hair where I'm not supposed to have hair though. That's probably just because it helps to heal damaged cells including follicles. It's a great anti-inflammatory oil. |

| I haven't used either emu oil or copper peptides myself, but I think there have been anecdotal reports of copper peptides causing increased facial hair. On the Skinbio website, their discussion of how copper peptides works notes that they stimulate the hair follicles, which would be consistent with increasing hair growth in general. Again, I should emphasize that I have no personal experience with emu oil or copper peptides, partly because I don't want to risk additional facial hair growth--menopause has provided me enough of that on its own! |
